Subscriber nudge+ 15,324 Posted October 30, 2020 Author Subscriber Share Posted October 30, 2020 Just watched it! More under spoiler tag... Loved it, good to see it continue on the same path as it started. Spaghetti western vibes are still strong... While I also want to explore new, unknown, or less visited planets, it's always nice to go back Tatooine... particularly if it involves Boba Fett, Cobb Vanth, the Tusken raiders and the Krayt dragon (with the pearl also inside!) Also love all the Star Wars universe references, all the subtle details and tie-ins to the novels, especially how it seems to unite both the new canon and the old legend stories... seeing that Bantha loaded with explosives, I knew that was going to be the killing blow to the dragon - KOTOR taught me that an explosive Bantha is a great trap for all kinds of beasts What I particularly liked is how the Tuskens are shown in a different light; they were always portrayed as mindless violent savages in the movies, so it's nice that The Mandalorian portrays them in a different light and tries to show a different side - as an actual people with real culture and traditions, somewhat similar to what KOTOR and particularly the old John Jackson Miller's Kenobi novel tried to do. Boba Fett reveal, while expected, was still great and exciting nevertheless; it's good to have Temura Morrison back! Looked like a real badass there in the dunes, watching the events unravel. His and Mando's paths will surely cross at some point, I wonder if they'll end up working together or become enemies? Also thought Timothy Olyphant was fantastic as Cobb Vanth and hope to see more of him in the future episodes... Really looking forward to next Friday now...

Lucas 3,824 Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 When Mando and Vanth were going out to meet the Tuskan Raiders, was Vanth riding a bit of Sebulba's broken Pod Racer? I thought that bit of detail was pretty cool if so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought that bit of detail was pretty cool if so. Anakin's podracer or rather just using its engine/spare parts. There's also R5-D4, the astromech droid that Luke's Uncle originally wanted to buy in A New Hope instead of R2-D2 but it had a faulty motivator. Now it belongs to the lady at the ship workshop and still has the black mark where the motivator exploded Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick 2,270 Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 Watched it on Friday. Picked up as strongly as it ended, bloody fantastic. Jon Favreau and his team just ‘get’ Star Wars, don’t they. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subscriber Mel81x+ 3,612 Posted November 2, 2020 Subscriber Share Posted November 2, 2020 Good episode that. I think Favreau spends a lot of time reading fan forums and tries to bake these little things into the universe he is building on the Mandalorian just to keep the fans engaged and it works with the way he goes about telling the story. It was also nice to see Olyphant reprise a lawmans role again after his work on Justified. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
